Way back in the year 2000, I got my first car. A 1989 Jeep Wagoneer Limited. Essentially a 4x4 Cherokee with an upgraded interior and woodgrain trim. Burgundy paint with burgundy interior. Seats were half leather half cloth. With the 'LIMITED' script stitched into the backrests...

I am too young to remember milk delivery. But I do enjoy immersing myself in things from days gone by. Our local chain grocer used to carry milk in the glass half-gallon. It was from a farm near Lawrence Ks called Iwig Dairy. Since 1910 (or something). I was ecstatic when I saw that and I...

I got that Royal at an estate sale for $3. I couldn't just leave it there for that price. ~Tim

Pretty neat site It's a good resource for everybody. Especially guys who aren't familiar with making their own clothes. I sew quite a few western shirts (among other garments) for clients. Custom embroidered with options of fringe and rhinestones. I read the entry about the things you must...

I like 'em. I personally like older cabinet or floor models. They're a piece of furniture to match everything else. I always liked the idea of TV's and Stereos as furniture. I find new tv's especially flats, as cold and harsh looking. The good thing about CRT televisions are now, with...

Seems a little steep. I bought a 1962 30 inch Custom Imperial for $40. It was (and still is) untested. It's coppertone color. I'm pretty sure it works well, but I suspected the oven thermostat was bad because the previous owner removed it as if to replace it, but realized that they couldn't...

There's not a single CFL in the house. I've never purchased one and do not intend to. It's pretty obvious that they're not as great as everyone predicted. If there was a problem with the incandescent bulb, then it would have been discontinued long ago. ~Tim

Getting a New Old Stock DeLorean would be the best way to go in my opinion. Someday I may have one. ~Tim

Yup, that slider thing is the damper control. In the movie, Dad comes in grumbling about that 'damned Oldsmobile would freeze up on a hot day in the middle of the equator!' Then the furnace starts making racket and he says, 'Ah ha! It's a clinker!' So he rushes downstairs tripping over toys...

My parents got one. The cabinet is nice. REAL wood. The heater is your standard grade. It has a color wheel inside to simulate 'fire' burning in the fireplace and the heater has a blower. My parents heat by Propane and using this in the larger rooms (living and dining room)actually keeps...

Seasons Greetings ~Tim

I have a reproduction version of the Colortone wheel. I use it with a 7ft pom pom aluminum tree that I got for free out of a storage building. I also noticed you have flood lights in them. I don't use a flood light in it for fear of melting something. I don't suppose I've tried a flood...

Foodarama! That's a 59-60 era 'Trimwall' Foodarama. Kelvinator finally jumped on the Sheer Look trend that Frigidaire introduced two years prior. The 55 to 58 Foodaramas are the old-style round body fridges. The 58 makes a vain attempt to look Sheer Look by the addition of slim vertical...

58limited I saw that one. It was in decent shape too. But I'd rather have it with all the internals like the compressor, etc. Also it was a gazillion miles away. I need something close. At that price, I'm certain it sold fast. ~Tim

I've never seen one of these. Although the name Servel, Inc. was an appliance manufacturer. I know they made gas powered refrigerators, but that's really all I've seen by that brand. ~Tim

My Holy Grail is a Foodarama refrigerator. It would be nice to see that under the tree, but that's not going to happen! A more practical gift that I would like is a serger sewing machine. ~Tim

Tide Stain Release I really like it. I buy the big bottle regular liquid. I do not use it as an in-wash booster because I don't need to with Ariel detergent. I use the Stain Release as a pre-treat and it's great. You pour some directly on the stain, let it set for a bit then wash. I have...

We don't have alot of tupperware. We use (gasp!) Gladware alot. hehe.. My mom, however, since the 70's has had a harvest gold Gallon sized Servalier (accordion lid) container that she kept flour in. I THINK it's a gallon. It's pretty big. Recently, she started using more than just all...

The not-so-good Particle wood dark tables in the front room. ~Tim
